The Abia state police command has arrested a 'Pastor' who operates a baby factory in the state.

The Commissioner of Police in Abia, Adeleye in a statement released on Monday said a storey building located at Faulks Road Aba, which doubles as a Church and Medical centre was converted to Baby Factory.

According to him, a team of Policemen attached to Ariaria Division led by the DPO stormed the premises where five pregnant young girls were rescued and one Christopher Adebanya Tochukwu, the Pastor of the Church and the operator of the clinic who earlier fled the scene was arrested.

He said that upon interrogation, one of the pregnant young girls alleged that she was raped by the so called pastor that morning, while another alleged that the pastor attempted to rape her if not for a broken piece of glass she used in self-defense.

However, another girl claimed that her two-month-old baby delivered therein was forcefully taken away from her by the pastor’s wife (now at large) and sold to an unknown person. A two-week old premature baby girl rescued at the scene has been taken to a motherless baby’s home for care and custody
